How the council’s directory described it
Read the full description council directory, about 2024
The Poplar Social Club is the little cousin to Dux Central, with it's own separate entrance directly off Poplar Lane. This is a speakeasy - a bar borne of the Prohibition era and dedicated to the craft of the cocktail, and all other libations besides. Come slide into a cosy leather booth or select your position up at the bar and prepare to be transported to days gone by.
